What our customers SAY...
Thank you so much, it really brought tears to my eyes. Being British-Jamaican, I've found it so hard to find books to share my culture with my son. Your book covers all bases whiles still being child friendly.
I purchased the Nigeria book or my son for Christmas and it genuinely brought tears to my eyes, sounds mega dramatic but it's true! I plan to raise my son knowing as much as I physically can about his roots from his dads side as well as mine and this is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much! I will post and tag you guys once he opens the gift.xx
As a proud Zimbabwean, sharing my culture with my little one has alays been a dream. Thanks to @ourworldmyroots, this dream is now a vivid, colourful reality!
Absolutely love the book! I secretly read it to my 3 month old so I can read it to myself🤣
We all want our babies to feel connected to their heritage and these books are a great place to start. They are honetsly outstanding in their detail and depth. They are inclusive of different ethnic groups and tribes and beautifully illustrated. Thoroughly recommend.
My husband and I have been reading this book (Jamaica) to my bump and it's an absolutely brilliant book! Could not recommend more😍
We bought the zim book at Cocoa Fest, I just wanted to say how impressed and amazing the book is! We've just had a cuddle and read it all together and it is great! I love the subtly headnods to children who may have additional needs ie. hearing aids. Beautifully written and illustrated, thank you!
